Situated in Bandarawela, 44 km from Gregory Lake, Bandarawela Hotel features accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

Liked the history, we knew the facilities would be more basic and old-fashioned and we liked this. Food generally good. Friendly staff. Liked the tortoises!

    Executive suite was a lovely room for our family of 4. Stylish design. Lovely little infinity pool although the sun didn't hit it so it was cold ! Fun though! Food was good and it was close enough to town in a very cheap tuk tuk.

    We loved the location (a gorgeous, short walk along the train tracks to and from town). The view from our balcony was stunning, bird song and fresh beautiful clean air! Our beautiful room had the most comfortable bed and super shower! Breakfast was delicious! We had dinner at the River Face restaurant just a very short walk along the track…an absolute gem! We loved our time at Levon Boutique Hotel and will definitely be back. Thank you for having us! 🙏🏼😍

    An incredible stay! This is more of a boutique hotel with a personal touch, run by a lovely family who couldn’t do enough for us. The location, right by the waterfall, is stunning and we highly recommend the cooking class with Champi. Easily the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka.

    It is by far the prettiest place we have slept in in Sri Lanka so far. The view from the room is unbelievably gorgeous. The furniture and design in the room are stunning, and the team is super nice and helpful. We already miss this place!

    We love the jungle setting that is just 10mins walk to the town. The sound of nature surrounds the property. The place is so well designed and decorated that it's more like a upmarket boutique hotel than a homestay. There are even 2 indoor swings in the common lounge. The provision of a kettle and a fridge in the common lounge is very thoughtful. The host Angelo was very friendly, helpful and accommodating.

    Stunning landscape around. Quiet at night. Very nice cottage with great interior design and nice big bathroom. Staff were very helpful and they prepared an amazing Sri Lankan breakfast after our hike.

    The Privacy of the balcony overlooking a magnificent view, including watching the infrequent passing train which was fun to watch. The design of the room set up was far beyond our expectation. David, the host was an extremely nice person as too were his two hard working boys - All in all very lovely little boutique hotel.

    Very nice modern hostel. Clean and nice interior design. The hostel has a stunning view, even from the the dorms which have a little terrace right outside of the bedroom. Delicious breakfast and nice and hospitable staff. I can definitely recommend it to all backpackers.
